During the conversation in Aap Ki Adalat, Kapil Sharma said, “There was a time when big stars like Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgan, Akshay Kumar, and Shah Rukh Khan kept waiting on the sets of The Kapil Sharma Show, but you never showed up for the shoot.” Kapil answered that he did cancelled the shootings because he was dealing with mental health issues.
